According to the official MLB rules, section 9, umpires are required to wear a uniform, but it does not describe what the uniform is. It is safe to assume that they all have to appear in the same clothing (hence uniform), and it cannot be deceptively similar to one of the teams' uniforms.
Major League Umpires Association was created in 1970.
Major League Umpires Association ended in 1999.
No
Before the season starts Major League umpires are put into crews, and the crews are scheduled for their games by Major League Baseball. Once the playoffs start individual umpires are selected based on their grades during the season.
Rawlings manufactures the majority of uniforms for teams in Major League Baseball. I do not think that all teams contract Rawlings for uniforms, but I believe that they do have roughly 70% of teams using their uniforms and equipment.
1 umpire
None
Themselves
Yes
I've noticed they have 2 additional umpires for playoff games this year, totaling 6. Must be a new standard. Depends in a Major league game there is 4 umpires on a field any minor league games normally 3 but it can depend on who can be there.
